Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Animal and Plant Health Agency (APHA) bought Bio-Rad antibody test kits, reagents and consumables for laboratory use. This was a supply requirement delivered to APHA, with delivery locations listed across the United Kingdom and internationally, including Europe, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement covered goods rather than services or works. The products support laboratory testing using Bio-Rad antibody kits and associated consumables; the call-off description identifies the products but does not break them down into quantities or individual kit types.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Bio-Rad Laboratories Limited. The award was made on 23 September 2026. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 10 April 2027. Its awarded value is £106,639. APHA placed the order as a selective call-off under the NEUPC LAB2010 North East life sciences equipment, materials and services framework, rather than running a new open competition. The tender deadline was 28 August 2026 at 12:00. The procurement was not divided into lots. The tender was marked unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award data names one supplier; no evaluation criteria are stated.

This award evidences APHA demand for Bio-Rad antibody test kits, reagents and related laboratory consumables, bought through an existing life-sciences framework. Suppliers competing for comparable future requirements would need to provide the specified Bio-Rad products and support supply to a buyer whose stated delivery reach includes the UK and overseas destinations. The successful route was a framework call-off, so access to an appropriate framework and the ability to respond to its call-off process are central to competing. The contract was awarded to the product manufacturer’s UK limited company, indicating that established supply capability for this named product range was relevant. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, suggesting the opportunity was not positioned for those supplier categories.
